In some countries, the crime is increasing at an alarming pace and the number of prisoners has gone to the maximum level. It is argued by many that convicts should be made to do a volunteer job for the community instead of putting them in jail. In my opinion, I agree that people involved in a low level of offence and juveniles should not be put in the custody, instead, they should be given non-custodial sentences, while individuals involved in murders and terrorist activities should be put behind bars.
